Updates to the plans to mitigate natural hazard impacts in Morgan and Scott counties will be available for review and comment May 21-28.

The plans, which outline projects and activities to reduce damage to people and property, can be viewed on the Jacksonville/Morgan County Office of Emergency Management section of the city website, jacksonvilleil.gov. A copy also is available by contacting director Phil McCarty at 217-479-4616.

Comments will be used to make any revisions needed prior to submitting the plan to FEMA and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.

There will be a teleconference about the plan at 2 p.m. May 21. Those interested in participating can contact McCarty.

“These plans describe how severe weather and other natural hazards have impacted the two-county area and identify specific mitigation actions that can be taken to reduce damage to life and health, infrastructure and property before events occur,” McCarty said.
